Chapter 135 Universal Quantum Computer

Time flies.

In five years, the humans who came to the Wolf 1061 star system completed the construction of all resource collection bases. Today, there are factories and bright lights on Wolf C-1. Countless robots are running around on it, and countless machines are carrying out various operations on it in full swing.

Humans have used technology to make this planet, which has been quiet for billions of years, lively.

The main body of the mobile space dock in the satellite orbit has been completed, and the orbital mass accelerator on the ground is still projecting a large amount of resources and materials into space day and night.

The endless stream of transport ships is like a group of industrious bees, filling the entire space orbit in a busy and orderly manner.

The resource transfer platform, which has been completed for a long time, continuously transports the materials on the Wolf C-1 satellite to the Wolf 1601 C orbit and sends them to the cylindrical space station built there in the style of Hope.

The densely populated material transport ships shuttle back and forth between the various stations. From a distance, it looks like a magpie bridge across the Milky Way.

Five years is the first node, and it is also the time point when human productivity will take off again.

Because at this point, humans have perfectly solved the problem that quantum computers are easily affected by noise and errors in their calculations, solved the problem of quantum error correction, and then successfully realized a universal quantum computer.

The so-called universal quantum computer, as the name suggests, is a computer that can do everything like a traditional computer, rather than a computer that can only do specific things at the beginning of the study of quantum computers.

The realization of a universal quantum computer is not a miracle, but the inevitable result of human technological accumulation. After all, humans have successfully mastered a number of quantum application technologies as early as the 21st century, the most typical of which is quantum secure communication.

It is worth mentioning that this universal quantum computer of humans is not a semi-finished product or an initial trial product, but a mature version.

Since humans already have AI such as "Light of the Milky Way" on traditional computers, and they have transformed it into a superconducting computer at the beginning, humans are actually not short of computing power in a short period of time. In this case, the team studying universal quantum computers is not in a hurry to take out a semi-finished product, but wait until the product is fully mature.

The realization of a universal quantum computer means that humans have taken a big step forward in the field of computers. Based on quantum computers, human central computers will be updated again, and the new artificial intelligence will become smarter, more flexible, and more intelligent.

It can be predicted that in the coming time, humans will produce new robots and assign new artificial intelligence to the programs of various robots, so that they can contribute to the development of mankind.

Many jobs that previously required human participation will be replaced by new robots.

This means that humans will be able to save a lot of manpower to specialize in work such as scientific research that must be completed by humans. At the same time, the addition of more and smarter robots will also increase the speed of human construction and manufacturing, and the problem of population shortage will be further alleviated.

Just like the new warships that originally took ten years to build, after the new artificial intelligence is online, it will only take five or even three years to complete, and the construction period of the living spacecraft will also be greatly shortened.

It can be said that the emergence of universal quantum computers is like pressing the development and construction accelerator for humans, instantly magnifying the industrial power of humans by more than a hundred times.

The already large fleet of various robots will expand again. It can be predicted that in the next few years, robots will be everywhere on the planet Wolf C-1.

Under the concept of destructive mining, these various types of robots will sweep across the planet like locusts, and then bring humans more and more abundant materials.

Universal quantum computers not only accelerate industrial construction, but also catalyze the development of science and technology in various fields.

Let's not talk about the long-term, just like the miniaturized nuclear fusion reactor that humans are currently researching.

In order to verify various models, when there were no universal quantum computers before, it might take months or even years to verify whether a model algorithm has loopholes or whether it is feasible using traditional computers. But with universal quantum computers, this kind of verification calculation only takes a few seconds or even less than a second to get the result.

Obviously, the research pace of miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors will enter the fast lane under the catalysis of universal quantum computers.

The same is true for other related technologies.

So why are quantum computers so much faster than traditional electronic computers?

The reason lies in its principle.

For the same number of bits n, the information capacity that quantum bits can represent is 2 to the power of electronic bits, and in terms of running speed, quantum computing can greatly improve its computing speed by virtue of its quantum entanglement characteristics.

For example, if we want to add 1 to all ten numbers, the traditional computer needs to perform the addition operation one by one, but the quantum computer is different. It only needs to make one of the numbers complete the addition operation, and the remaining nine numbers will be automatically updated due to quantum entanglement.

Quantum entanglement is completed instantly, so quantum computers are naturally faster than traditional electronic computers.

As for why artificial intelligence based on quantum computers is smarter than traditional artificial intelligence, many people actually know the reason.

That is because the algorithm of quantum computers is closer to "wisdom".

To put it another way, the human brain operates on the quantum level, or human thinking is generated by the operating mechanism at the quantum level. As the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. If humans want to create smarter artificial intelligence by simulating their own brain thinking, they can only use quantum computers.

Now, humans can see the way to achieve strong artificial intelligence, which is universal quantum computers.

Later, new space suits were also replaced with new AI systems.

It can be said that the emergence of universal quantum computers is a matter of sharpening the knife before cutting wood. The new government predicts that the previous construction plan of humans is likely to be completed ahead of schedule.

Of course, it does not mean that after having universal quantum computers, humans will give up the research on traditional computers, but they will not focus on development for the time being.

Yes, in the eyes of humans, traditional electronic computers have not come to an end, and humans do not want to give up any branch of science.

Every science has many branches, just like the current human central computer "Light of the Milky Way", which belongs to the traditional superconducting electronic computer. In the field of electronic computers, it can be further explored, such as the electronic spin property computer mentioned earlier, or even only the electronic computer that uses the incompatibility of electrons and their spin properties in the wild imagination of a certain scientist.

The same is true for general quantum computers. Currently, humans use photons as quantum bits. In addition, quantum computers have other branch routes, such as topological quantum computers and electromagnetic field-controlled ionization well quantum computers.

Choosing which particle to use as a quantum bit may lead to the development of different quantum computers.

And elementary particles all have quantum properties.

It is conceivable how complicated the refinement of scientific branches is.
